About Brooke USA's Heritage and Friends

December 03, 2020 • with Host Julianne Neal • Season 1 • Episode 7

No one is better equipped to provide background on Brooke USA than its founding chairman, Dr. David Jones. Although a new organization, activated in 2016, Brooke USA has inherited its rich heritage from its sister organization Brooke, the leading international organization focused on alleviating the suffering of working horses, donkeys and mules in the developing world. Joining the chat is long-time volunteer and donor Cathy Moss-Dattel who accompanied Dr. Jones and other Brooke USA supporters on a once-in-a-lifetime trip to visit Brooke USA’s funded work in India. The second half includes Leslie Munsell, president and founder of Beauty for Real, Brooke USA’s partner in the development of a line of lip balms, created for Brooke USA’s equestrian ambassadors. The nonprofit receives a portion from the sale of each lip balm; to purchase visit: beautyforreal.com. Joining Leslie is Brooke USA Ambassador and Olympian Kasey Perry-Glass who worked hand-in-hand with Leslie to develop a lip balm color that would best fit her personality.
